Sky Captain, shopping n' stuff
Maybe my subject title should say something along the lines of "OMGmycomputerisbackyay". Heh.
Yes, my computer has finally been fixed and is (almost) problem-free. And it now has (*gasp*) over a quarter of hard drive space back. =D
As it was Jobseeker's Allowance day today, I met Euan in town, before we went to the Job Centre for our signings.
After this, we went shopping. =) I didn't intend on buying anything, but, obviously, I changed my mind.
This is what I purchased:
- Rammstein's Herzeleid album.
- A small book, A Book of Dumb Questions.
- A large and expensive keyring - that is, a reproduction of the Pussy Wagon keyring from Kill Bill.
- A small badge which reads "I <3 MYSELF". (I don't know how to do that heart-shaped emoticon-type-thing, so I put "<3" instead.)
- A rather cheap copy of the Onimusha 2 strategy guide. Not that I need it, as I know that game like the back of my hand, but still, I bought it for reference.
In between all this buying, Euan and I found time to see Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow at the cinema. In short, I love it.
At first, the look of the film seemed a little bit hard on the eyes, but I got used to it a few minutes in. It looks incredibly different to any other film at the moment, and, personally, I think it looks great.
However, I found Polly (Gwyneth Paltrow's character) to be rather annoying at first. I managed to tolerate her later on, though. And I marvelled at her ability to keep her seemingly unsmearable lipstick looking neat and tidy.
Also, Franky (Angelina Jolie's character) has been highly publicised, yet she only appeared in a very small amount of scenes. This disappointed me, because Franky is without a doubt my favourite character. Not just because Angelina plays her - although that is certainly a bonus - but because she's just...... spiffy.
Aside from those minor niggles, though, I love the film, and I am buying the DVD when it is released. Yes.
I shall be off to bed now. I leave you with......
